LONDON. — Shane Warne has denied spending four hours in millionaire businesswoman Michelle Mone’s hotel room — hours after a Valentine’s Day weekend with Liz Hurley.
The 44-year-old former Australia leg-spinner, who split from the actress last year, reportedly met up with Mone at her suite in London’s Dorchester Hotel on February 16.

But on Sunday he tweeted: “Just read some more ludicrous & laughable reporting on me, what an absolute load of rubbish! Whatever, time to rack up the air miles again”.

However, it seems those reports have hurt him less than a paint-balling session on Monday.
Warne posted a picture on Twitter of his battered and bruised body with the message: ‘OUCH !!! This was fun back in Melbourne, but bloody hurt more than being hit by a fast bowler……’

Judging from the snap, Warne may have been better off facing a quick bowler, such as his compatriot Mitchell Johnson or South African Dale Steyn.
Instead, he showed his torso on the social networking site and it was reminiscent of Brian Close’s body after the England batsman faced a barrage of bouncers from the West Indies pace attack of the 1970s.

On Valentine’s Day, Warne had flown to the UK where he visited his ex-fiancee Hurley at the £6million Herefordshire mansion they bought in 2012.
Warne and Hurley spent the night there before travelling to London and spending a second night together at her townhouse.

They were believed to be trying to rekindle their relationship, with Warne recently hinting they were on the verge of a reconciliation.
But the Australian is said to have visited Mone, 42, at lunchtime the following day, apparently taking champagne and roses to her £500-a-night eighth-floor suite.
The pair emerged separately four hours later, with the underwear firm boss heading to the BBC’s central London office to appear on Radio 5 Live show, On The Money.

Mone, who divorced ex-husband Michael in January last year, flew back to Scotland the next day, while Warne jetted to Las Vegas to take part in a poker tournament.
Warne is not the first sportsman to be linked to Mone. In 2012 married footballer Robbie Savage was seen leaving her home in the early hours following an award ceremony earlier that evening. The pair claimed they are just friends.

On her Twitter page on Sunday night, Mone said she would never “meet a guy if he was taken”. — Mailonline.
